Framing masculine functions as weapons is brilliant. Great visual representation of f-Ni vs m-Ni too, I see them that way as well.

Great information! I’m pretty sure I have saviour M-Ni and I can see how it’s getting me into a lot more trouble then F-Ni! I have typed myself FM Ni/Fe BSCP, but as my F-Se would say, that’s my interpretation of what I can see at this point in time (would love to hear if others interpret it the same as we can’t always see ourselves clearly!). I think of masculine vs feminine functions as where I feel I push out at the world. Masculine functions is where I try to mold the world into what I want and am resistant to change or going with the flow. It’s where I dig in my heels, act more stubborn and lack flexibility. Verses feminine, where I feel the world pushes at me, where I feel moldable, more flexible to change or go with the flow. It’s also where I feel the least amount of control. Like it’s happening to me more then I’m the creator. My masculine Ni is my biggest gift AND largest obstacle in my life! I have a love/hate relationship with it lol! The biggest obstacle in my life is when things don’t go according to my “inner vision” of how I imagined them (which it never Se does!), then getting stuck. Like if this one part doesn’t fit, the entirety of my life can come crashing down. The Plan is THE THING! It’s everything...and not very movable. This is oversimplified, but if I planned pancakes for breakfast, it’s part of my overall plan I have of health, fitness and self care. If for whatever Se reason it doesn’t work out, well my entire day, week, life needs to shift to make room for that. I will need to stop, recalculate my goals and make room for that change. Which is exhausting and if I’m tired, stressed, etc, I can feel (M-Fe) like no Se thing can fix it or make it better. I’m stuck on this small thing when it really has a very insignificant part of the plan. I remember one particular meltdown over a paper in college in how the outcome would effect my grades, GPA, my ability to get into grad school, my career, therefore my ENTIRE LIFES PURPOSE! That’s a lot of pressure for that one small step lol! On the other hand, I have demon F-Se. To me a fact is not a fact. Facts can only be INTERPRETED, which is subjective. Data is useful only in the sense that it can give insight to the patterns and can show connections. But a fact today can change tomorrow with new insight, research and understanding. This lets me have way more Se fun, it’s not serious or important as the Ni vision. I don’t run into many of the demon Se problems that I hear INFJs or INTJs having. I think I enjoy my Se more. But when I want to really focus, or when stressed, overwhelmed, etc the Se MUST be shut down as much as possible. Rooms must be cleared of all visual clutter, noise (tv, music, conversation) needs to be turned off, new data is rejected in its entirety. My F-Se can turn from all fun and games to what feels like a personal attack lol! Some examples of a Se meltdown - A loud tv feels like it’s “yelling” at me, or a fan blowing cold air feels abrasive and rude, someone standing too close will feel like an invasion of my space. Love the discussion! It took me a bit to get my Play on-board with my Blast enough to comment, but I hope my experiences offer a bit of insight to someone.

F-Ni makes concepts fit into reality M-Ni makes reality fit into concepts

Great video! I would say that feminine functions are like gas or liquid, it moves around the obstacles, and masculine functions are solid, pushing through the obstacle.

[@InternetLiJo]
